Welcome to my world
- Green-Eyed Geisha
- Tokyo, Japan
- Japan like you've never seen it before from the skewed perspective of a foreign (at least to some people) twenty-something living with her Japanese beau in Tokyo. I call Canada my home country despite a slew of passports in my bottom drawer. I work at the Kaisha, a Japanese company that more often than not feels like the twilight zone. Or should I say, the twiright zone?! Welcome to my world.

Sweet ride.
Thanks Melon. My ass is paying for it today.
Hi!
I have not ridden a bike for years, but never went farther than a few blocks from home, streets in Mexico are not very friendly. During my short and first 26-day stay in Japan I was amazed at how fast and flawlessly the Japanese ride their bicycles almost to anywhere, even the elderly. I would love to use one here on the other side of the ocean if I could.
Tako: Sorry to hear that about your neighbourhood :( It's great having a bike here again but unfortunately the city isn't very bike friendly so you have to ride on the sidewalk. I hate bikers when I am walking and I hate pedestrians when I'm biking so I can't win!
I like all your posts but somehow this post was so bad ass :P haha.
In the states you never see girls with short skirts riding on bikes.... in japan.. it's a piece of cake, or they don't mind a little flashing XD. It also seem like salary men never look around, just straight back, straight forward and off they go.
Have you ever tried to take somebody for a ride? I swear it's so difficult.. I don't know of the skinny tiny people can hold the weight >_<

Do a wheelie!
Riding a bike is definitely the only way to get around some parts of Japan, particularly the less dense areas. I spent all spring in Kyoto and I bicycled every day for almost three months. I'm not sure that I'd want to bike some places in the more commercial districts of bigger cities but, regardless, a bike is one of those necessary things to have in Japan.
Anon: Thanks :) I just feel lucky to have the kind of parents to whom I can send these emails and they don't even blink! Riding in heels is one of my finer acomplishments but I've not given anyone a ride yet - I don't have those "standing" bars on the back.
Rob: It's so nice to be on a bike but I agree that the denser areas really scare me - it's almost impossible to stay on your bike. But put me on a wide avenue with few pedestrians and I am in heaven!
Wonderful, Lady!!!
Thanks.
Thanks yourself Rodolphe!
